Rosberg wants an Extreme E future for F1 champion Vettel – DirtFish


Rosberg wants an Extreme E future for F1 champion Vettel – DirtFish

“It’s nice to see Sebastian being so keen on this topic, which is important to all of us, and really kind of following in my footsteps as well because I’ve been doing this now for six years since I stopped racing that I’ve been dedicated to environmental issues with all of my entrepreneurship so it’s really nice to see how he’s following in my footsteps,” Rosberg said.

Another parallel between the pair is that both have young families, and Rosberg says that XE’s spaced out schedule – five events across eight months in 2022 – provides him with an ideal balance of family and racing time. Rosberg also said that the enjoyment of his post-F1 roles means he isn’t missing being in the driving seat.

“Driving is a thing of the past now. I’ve really turned that page,” he insisted. “It was a beautiful time, and now it’s different.

“What I also like about XE is it’s not a full-time, whole life commitment, because there’s not so many races.

“I couldn’t imagine myself being in a team-leading role in F1, ever, because it’s a full-life commitment with 24 races and it’s really every single day, all day long, and traveling around the world. That’s not for me any more.
